Man Inspired by QAnon and Hopped Up on Caffeine Purposefully Derailed Train
https://www.vice.com/en/article/7kb38q/ ... KMe8bCVnYk

Someone suggested Casey Jones was high on cocaine (as per a Grateful Dead song,) to keep up with the demanding train schedule (but it was more likely he was filling in for someone else at a time he wasn't accustomed to, and was also trying to play catchup.) He was highly regarded for knowingly remaining in control of the train rather than bailing, so as to lessen the amount of destruction from the inevitable accident when a stalled car was ahead of him on the track. I think the town he was going through at the time regard him as a hero for "saving the town."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casey_Jones

Mostly it was saving the lives of the passengers and being the only casualty.
https://nationalrrmuseum.org/blog/this- ... sey-jones/

I remember watching this when I was about 5 (though for some reason I must have confused a tobacco pipe with a similar Popeye skit, where he is in control of a train, and it may have been on a separate vhs tape with Bluto who also smoked a giant bundle of tobacco. . . and then he exhales it while saying, "smoooth." I think it made me curious about tobacco ever since then.)

Portugal during the 16th century had significant influence from trade with Africa (and hypothetically, how would history have turned out differently if Europe took a different course?) It was on the cuff of Muslim rule over Spain, but it was also at a time when Africa instead of trading commerce traded labor (and with it likely also came the perception of status much like in India--who were opposed to the kingdom of Punt/Ethiopia who dominated them in ancient times.) It was also at a time when Spain had the leading ship Armada which would become sunk during harsh weather upon approach to England where they scuttled their ships, which are often significant history changing events much as when Mongolian-ruled Korea during the 13th century loss their ships upon approach to invade Japan, and were attacked by 'kamikaze winds.' Spain and Portugal would have had pre-existing relations with African rule but also the trade had been established and seemed to change course as new colonies were being established in the 'New World.'

I'll be repairing the light panels that run underneath the LED TV screen (used for an external monitor,) which likely burned out from leaving an emuelec TV box running while fall asleep. Apparently QLED and OLED don't use light panels that burn out, so they might last longer, but $20 to replace those light panels sounds better than a $600 TV, and I despise the thought of these going to a landfill if some fool doesn't know how to fix it (and most people will resort to throwing these away if someone offers them for free, and plenty of expensive monitors are trashed from breaking them as well, as they don't do well when transporting them without proper protection. TV's are the last thing I want to deal with, and the nature of modern consumerism tends to encourage landfill waste, especially from idiots that get the most expensive TV they can find just to watch some retarded ass football game, and then return it, and even if it get's returned in tact, companies will still end up throwing some of these things away if they decide they won't resell them. When I was working at Amazon I was scanning out giant gaylords (big boxes used for transporting junk) of brand new Nike shoes that were taking up excess space in the warehouse, just to have them trashed. They don't even offer these up for other companies or organizations for donation (which also would still reduce their tax liability even more than the existing subsidies they get when they operate in cities/states, etc.) Since Amazon took up business the landfill looks like a giant mountain, though that might just be a coincidence. Incidentally I also recall having a large ass TV fall out of a cart after making it a return, and having the entire front smashed, after someone returned it; and I think soon after I was shuttled over from the front-end Management of Walmart over to Garden Center.

I have a number of reasons I should be interested in this game (namely that I've almost literally played every AC game to completion expect for the first one) being that I have an interest in Britain, and also have some Scandinavian genetics (about 1%, and the rest is mostly Germanic or Anglo-Saxon which makes up the majority of British ancestry,) but I just get the impression I will be disappointed in this (so I haven't bothered.) I think the main thing with it is how it seems to clash with what I ultimately consider "realistic," but also the storytelling just doesn't seem persuasive.


I deleted Kingdom Come Deliverance (about 54 gigs of a game that had ambition and surprisingly realistic elements that are easy to overlook, but which has flaws in gameplay that just prevents you from wanting to play it, including things that you will end up repeating until passing out from boredom) to make way for Elder Scrolls Online which is free to play on Steam until 4/26 (day before my birthday,) but I don't anticipate wanting to buy.

Most likely I will regret not getting around to KCD. . . and I might find it difficult to redownload. I've been sorting through a ton of files and organizing them to get more focused, and games are not something that's helping.

I'll probably do more virtual searching until I redownload it.

Looking back over these (I mention it on Historical Fragments: The Tipu Sultan Mysore rockets which some still exist after becoming uncovered in an excavation.)


Shown in a movie.


The Chinese "discovered" gunpowder as an Indian medicine in 800 AD and people in India argue that the Chinese merely improved the formula and weaponized it. Rockets had been in use by India for 7 centuries up until Tipu Sultan had used it against the British in the late 1800s (which they didn't incorporate into their own use until 1804; prior to this they may only have been familiar with fireworks which merely took on metallic cylinders making them capable of reaching 2 miles distance, and making them more lethal.

Evidently it was introduced as a medicinal "fire drug" during the 8th century AD. . . Considering the first Chinese Emporer consumed mercury "to achieve longevity" (which ended up killing him) it certainly doesn't seem like a stretch of the imagination.

India likely had a process of using moss and piss and mixing up things to create saltpeter amongst other ingredients used.

They describe the process here:
https://www.quora.com/Does-Indian-claim ... t-or-wrong

And of course the ancient Greeks had a something used for many centuries referred to as Greek fire, which derives from much more ancient incendiary warfare, both of which predate the use of actual 'gunpowder.'

Fluffing the "Buff" . . .

I generally see Warren Buffett as an exploitative conman that is out to profit off people's naivety. Things like Dairy-Queen, McDonald's, and Coca-Cola (which requires a 2-hour documentary on its evil internationally as it is,) and pretending like he isn't just there to keep people buying their products. He's fueling the world's decline in health while pretending to be a charitable benefactor to the future of mankind. . . It's pathetic.

People like Warren Buffett would have no incentive for any of his actions if he wasn't out to take advantage of people and their situations, while secretly screwing them over with his saccharine-fake nonsense.

Could this be any more confirmation bias, and why would they not expect to find results that weren't explicitly expected? Nuclear munitions are going to leave a trail long after any aircraft have been present, and the Strontium-90 is placed inside hollowed-out helicopter blades to make inspection easier for cracks, but would generally be seen for detection alongside the blade chassis.

Whether it would make sense for special-ops helicopters to be coming from that air base (which would potentially have someone sneaking in as apparent from all the graffiti) or to have such attention potentially noticed at the farm seems like a bigger stretch of the imagination, as it would probably be easier to just have a vehicle randomly driving through that area and inspecting the cows much more inconspicuously (as who is to say a helicopter landing and being seen on a trail monitoring system doesn't catch much further publicity?)

The thought of the same kind of helicopter being used to raid Osama Bin Laden being used for killing and inspecting cows is a wide stretch, and it would certainly make many reconsider why they had joined the military.

The object captured on the infrared camera seems to have a trail floating behind it. Was it an orb sighting that only shows in infrared or was it something visible that would have appeared while potentially startling the cows by running through the fields at night, and could the footage captured possibly have been a drone that was being flown up into the air while "running with the bulls?"

Natural decomposition or surgical precision?

6:43 "Which letter of the alphabet most closely resembles the shape formed by migrating birds?"



Morgan Freeman Apocalypse documentary


Apocalypse was written in 100-150 AD (dated as such because it references a book--4 Esdras--contemporary to that time period)
https://www.compellingtruth.org/apocaly ... Peter.html

Not until Paul did anyone make reference to Jesus calling himself God (and the resurrection is only claimed in visions, and mentioned by Paul in Corinthians, which might have been "preaching to the choir," with what they wanted to hear.)


Paul was the only witness to the claim of Jesus' resurrection outside of Paul's book of Acts citing an empty tomb (which presumes Jesus's body was not found and should not fully imply that this suggests resurrection as for all anyone knows the movement might have had an invested interest in perpetuating an agenda that they wanted to continue.)
https://hbu.edu/news-and-events/2016/07 ... ion-jesus/

I tend to think that the 12 disciples are an astrotheological reference and that Paul signifies a 13th (hidden) influence, hence Ophiuchus the "serpent bearer." Even though Simon's name was changed to Peter (meaning "rock") it's associated that Jesus is the rock (who proverbially mentioned, "a rolling stone gather's no moss," signifying the "rock" was a foundation for which society would be ruled over.
- https://hellogiggles.com/lifestyle/ophi ... astrology/

The serpent-bearer incidentally is what Moses is referred to, and even early depictions of Christianity shows the cross of Jesus with nothing but a serpent entangled around it.
https://cmfblog.org.uk/2012/09/17/the-m ... -medicine/

Paul of Tarsus was a Greek-speaking Jew Pharisee who likely had an agenda to manipulate and con the gentiles into something that would serve a greater agenda (of control and perhaps usurping the Roman empire territories?)


The shroud of Turin was likely an elaborate forgery, much as the 'True cross" relics claiming to be found in churches, and arc of the covenants in Ethiopian churches, are known fakes.
https://www.newsweek.com/ancient-shroud ... ds-1026279

The "logos" was divine, not a being (and Paul was deceiving the world by changing the message of what "Jesus" was.)
https://qr.ae/pv2rAU

Keep in mind that Coptic is the most consistently direct byproduct of how the ancient Egyptians sounded and is the most direct link to the ancient Egyptians as a cultural narrative, as well as believed to have descended from Pharaohs, but so did Judaism gradually become a more monotheistic tradition out of the influence of Akhenaten, but this tradition did not exist within the time period of the Old Testament (and only adapted as a monotheistic tradition after the Babylonian exile.)
https://www.quora.com/Was-the-Bible-pol ... -beginning

I tend to want to find a trend to how the names of the Bible were synonymous not for actual people but rather an era in time, but the usualy "name meaning" turns out to be very different from what I remember reading a few years ago. I think it's accurate to think of the Pharisees as being similar to in modern times when government influences like the USA install puppet governments and then they get overthrown by a new faction of the government, and how groups like the Pharisees were really just puppets playing into the interest of the Roman empire (so when Jesus refers to the Synagogue of Satan, he was referring to the Pharisee while later Christians would also oppose Nero aka (the number 666?) who would have been born after Jesus is said to have died. Christianity was essentially a resistence group much as you would have with the French Revolution or Haitians opposing imperialism, and would have been popular among the Greeks for a number of reasons. Greeks likewise had an invested interest in Egyptian culture seeing as they had Greek dynasty from Cleopatra, but also it's argued that Jesus's baptism was not a Jewish tradition, but a Egyptian one (though it did take on influence in other traditions.)


Mithras was "born from a rock" and ancient Jewish traditions had used rock effigies as fertility ceremonies (hence the sun obelisks likewise take on special meaning with Osiris traditions which many of these derive from.) Notice that many traditions that incorporate solar deification, also make reference to the hours (Horus) of the day, as well as references to stone (such as Mithras worship which even has an ancient Roman temple in the City of London) but so do you find Petras as being referenced as a stone and further the ancient Egypt obelisk at the Vatican. Historically the stone has always been used as a fertility object and even the Jews had a tradition of using smaller stones to anoint in a fertility ritual. A 19th century author named Nicholas Notovich suggested that Jesus went to Tibet which isn't likely not true, but it would place him closer to the influence of Vedic traditions with Mitras and the Flower of Life (which is what the Tree of Life Kaballah concept also was influenced by, and many ancient traditions were interconnected, so it's probably a rather astute thing to observe all ancient religions as a panoply for the main zeitgeist of an idea.

The only similar bathing ritual in Judaism is Mikvah used by women prior to conceiving, in the event they had a miscarriage or fell ill and needed to be "cleansed." In Egyptian practices whenever people had a major flood (as shown in the Morgan Freeman Apocolypse documentary) they would have the water collected for the remainder of the year and use it prior to visiting an Osiris temple.
https://www.news24.com/News24/refuting- ... s-20160316

The Gnostic Christians had a much more consistent association to the true message of Christ/Jesus/Emmanuel, that when Emmanuel referred to Jesus and Christ (the anointing) it was a direct reference to 'logos' (hence an entheogenic "born again" significance. . . The ancient world was VERY DIFFERENT in thinking to modern times.)

Leisure Suit Larry 6: Shape up or Ship Out! (probably more similar to earlier games but more memorable and shorter.)


Games like LSL were very much an early PC game and mostly became extinct (and even the newer releases don't really seem to be inspired from the same thinking that inspired this, though it does try to market to the newer gamers.) It might just be due to the point and click format when most all SCUMMVM games stopped being made.

I'm aware that such a belief is spurious at best in the absence of supporting evidence. It feels unsettling to know that such phenomena is extent and triggering to American national security because it eludes scientific empiricism. I respectfully retract my "balderdash" comment and apologize without first viewing the contents of the videos. They have helped me realize UFOs are worth discussing. Sometimes I don't like to consider things because it requires summoning a willingness to suspend my beliefs and/or (as I think to be in this case) challenges me to articulate an alternative explanation for said phenomena which lay in an information domain unfamiliar to me while maintaining congruency with my world view.

Incidentally, videos I posted were shared as a response while explaining how mankind is just barely at the window of observation for the Drake equation, and that any sufficient evidence would be far more probable that an extraterrestrial civilization has already witnessed earth's development for a very long time.

************************* What I posted in response ***********

I agree that mankind should not assume that it will be the first to observe alien life and that any civilization that likely exists out there has been observing mankind for a very long time. Whether Rupert Sheldrake's belief that life seems to emerge like some panpsychism abiogenesis phenomenon for life (and what we think of as unique to earth would likely occur similarly throughout the cosmos through laws and properties of physics that seem to evade our understanding and intuition.)

What would be the chances that mankind in its very short period of technological development (which is still in its infancy) would even know whether a one-off blip of activity wasn’t one of the few that has managed to cross through extremes in geomagnetic forces, or that what we believe is potentially a naturally occurring phenomenon isn’t actually superseding our own expectations for what might even be the preferred mode of communication (especially if it’s extremely likely that any sufficiently intelligent extraterrestrial civilization would not want to be discovered, and would rather find ways to obscure its presence, especially if it has an invested interest in not being known about.)

I’m still dumbstruck by the ‘Phoenix lights’ events as the V-shaped UFO would have been a mile long from one end to another, and by all accounts of those who were present to witness the event, people knew it was a solid object. And yet, such testimony is not properly accounted for in representation for numerous sightings just like it (and usually the people that witness such sightings close off from ever discussing it for whatever reason. . .)

Just as I mention my 2012 sighting there were two other’s by completely random people in my area, one which appeared to be 3 lights flying in a triangle formation (though they didn’t designate if it was a single craft object) and another which I would have believed was fake (because it seems to move in a strange manner in the video as if it doesn’t “line up” with the footage, and yet I can’t understand why this person would fake it.)

UFO over Walmart in Carrollton.mp4
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4soiqh64buznt ... n.mp4?dl=0

I only discovered these videos when looking up 2012 footage in 2014 when I had a follow-up sighting (as well as various strange things I believe are connected to it, which I would describe as an ‘Experiencer’ phenomenon. . . Things that are very consistent with other people who have such sightings, which for the longest time leading up to it I would have believed that the triangle-shaped ufo I spotted in the fall of 2012 (about 2 months after those videos were recorded) had been some kind of government technology, only I assumed this because I didn’t have the proper experience determining the size of the object (which would have been very high up in the atmosphere but very clearly a triangle-shaped object) but compared to any traditional craft that I see at similar elevations, was very clearly dwarfing anything that would have flown near it (and the object was observed for some time as I was driving home from work at night, and until I was entering the house to retrieve a decent camera as I knew my cell phone wouldn’t capture it, it left or had goneabove cloud cover just prior to me unlocking the door.

Everything I know about my sightings would suggest that ‘Standard Model’ physics is not prepared to explain what occurs, which is something I already suspected when I studied the EVP phenomenon.

Lead evp - Google Drive
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing

It’s not a subject that’s as easy to have very real exposure to and it’s nearly impossible to describe the process of experience with the phenomenon in a way that people unaccustomed to experiencing with it are prepared to understand (and god forbid that they do, even if the immediate sense is awe-struck; the end result is something akin to complex PTSD when unaccustomed to making sense of it in a way that is easy to discuss openly.) And if society woke up with the full realization of such a phenomenon I can guarantee people were going to wish we were back in our happy-happy ignorance and bliss (akin to a Plato’s Cave analogy.)

Society forgoes understanding in favor of feigned cognizance, and it’s a universal nature of braying feigned sentience. Even the smartest people in the world (and I quite literally am very familiar to them, and I mean literally “know”—to whatever sense that exists--people that are members of the Giga, Prometheus, and similar groups,) and none of them would seem particularly different from average people. From what I would guess we are very far from the totem pole of what society can even comprehend of an advanced civilization, as even within the past centuries mankind has been grossly incompetent at understanding even the most basic of common sense (and this is from the leading ‘experts’ of the day telling people what the “truth” is.)

Most of society is ruled with the expectation that no one will truly know any more than they are told, and similarly, we have governments still lying to people about what is going on hundreds of miles from their doors, and people will continue to be spoon-fed the fodder as if it’s protecting them from having to escape beyond the hedges of the maze constructed for them.

I’ll be sure to examine what you wrote more closely but I tend to get lost in the data of the internet, but I’m going to bookmark this page to check back up on it (and I just recently got around to organizing my bookmarks after about 10 years of neglecting it.)

A big problem is being able to determine what data points are necessary to make sense of what is going on in the world, and a big problem is when the leading authority on topics start to cover their “playing cards” and bluff about what they are willing to explain away about a topic. The field of UFOlogy is littered with people who get so tied up in uncertainty that they would rather not admit what they don’t know about a subject, and quite often it leads to dead ends. Ultimately it becomes more of a P.T. Barnum where the truth doesn’t matter if the audience suspends disbelief, just enough to where they don’t question it, and it becomes a trial of futility to ever ‘know’ what the truth is when so many charlatans take hold of the narrative, and even worse is when you realize the very people that are supposed to be the authority in charge of the truth, in actuality have absolutely no idea what it actually entails. It becomes plausible deniability, and yet eventually society will have a much greater consensus of what to expect.

Many aspects of physics operate on a continuum of more than one dimension and the effects could not be observed without somehow operating like a tether pulling more than one "string" of each dimension.



To some extent, the ball lightning phenomenon seems to demonstrate its own gravitational influence, and operates as though from another dimension.

It's regarding the development and reasons behind leaded gasoline and the consequences to humanity, but also the warnings posed by things that should seem very evident throughout history with regards to toxic metals (such as mercury, which for the longest time going back to the first Emporer of China to Queen Elizabeth the 1st, and throough out the 19th century hat makers, etc., was self-evident(???) The pewter metal used by Romans was known to be very toxic, much as mercury didn't extend the life of the Emporer as he seemed to think it would.

It kind of reminds me of the dangers of Roundup and how the company lobbyist tried to claim it was safe to drink (because it affects the Calvin cycle unique to plants and not mammals.)


Aside from Leaded gasoline Midgley also helped to invent freon. . .
